Dermal Fillers – Where They Can be Used

Hello. My name is Libby Stewart. I’m an aesthetic nurse practitioner here at Aurora Clinics.

Who is suitable for treatment with a dermal filler, and where would you expect dermal fillers to be placed? Well, the who is quite simple. Most people are suitable for treatment with a dermal filler. Obviously, treatments have never been approved in ladies who are expecting babies, so we have no data to support that and wouldn’t treat anyone who was pregnant. There are certain autoimmune diseases and people with recurrent [inaudible 00:35] etc. that we would keep an eye on, but these are not particularly contraindicated and we would discuss this when taking your medical history during your consultation.

The treatments are perfectly safe as we are using a natural product which is biodegradable and would only expect to last in the body for about 9 to 12 months. It is something which the body is able to breakdown quite naturally. Whilst perhaps this might not seem great if you have to keep getting your treatment done every year, it does mean that you get a nice fresh result, and as ideas of beauty changes and your face changes around it, the hyaluronic acid filler only stays in place whilst it is suitable for that particular area.

Most people who present at Clinic are concerned about the lines that come between the nose and the mouth, which air called the nasolabial lines. These are the ones which really show the sign of aging first as we lose our fat pads here underneath our cheeks and that skin has nowhere to go but downwards and can cause that very deep crevice there. Those fill out very nicely with hyaluronic acid fillers and really produce a very startlingly good result which is immediate to see.

Other places that we can use the hyaluronic acid in the face are the areas here, which are called the oral commissures where we have the volume loss here that again is created by the aging face. This can be padded out to the natural volume that was apparent in the more youthful face.

Lines which ladies really hate are the ones going between the corners of the lips here down towards the jaw, which are called the marionette lines which give the appearance of a puppet-like face. A little more volume in here and the relieving of the creases here really do help restore that balance.

Fillers can be used to restore volume in places like the cheeks where perhaps you want more volume than you used to have in that part, so we can use it for creating a sculptured look as well as just recreating what you had before.

If you would like any more information on this, please contact us here at the Clinic on 01844 214362 or via the website. Thank you.
